<HTML>This is a new project that I have thrusted on the planet.
I would like to personally invite you and your fellow artists to participate in a Mail Art exhibition of international contemporary design titled "little pieces exhibition" to be held in the New Wagner Gallery of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Edwardsville, Illinois, USA.
The goal of the exhibition is to assemble and showcase "pieces" of cutting edge ideas/imagery that may or may not be published or exhibited. It is my belief that assembling a collection of submitted work in a gallery documenting and publishing it on a web site, the planet can get a first hand, nearly instantaneous look at contemporary ideology in the minds of creative people involved in the design/art world. Contemporary image making has evolved at a blinding pace and is sometimes left empty and without soul. Where is it going? Are you or your company at the head of it? Or Have you created work that speaks volumes though has not seen the light of day? or has it? What does the future of design look like?
Send us a sample, a fragment of your thoughts.
Make it post card size and mail it to the "little pieces exhibition". (criteria for submissions is on the web site, PLEASE READ)
Deadline for submissions is SEPTEMBER 10, 2001
(International Submissions don't delay, the earlier the better)
Gallery Exhibition runs September 17 through October 12, 2001
